Climate Emergency. Actuary, running, sewing, knitting, early medieval landscape history. Not all at once. I'll never see 55 minutes or 317ppm again.

➡️ The global transition to renewables is in full swing.

➡️ In fact the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of batteries🔋 is even faster than the already reckless growth rate of wind 💨 and solar ☀️

Sunak’s family firm signed a billion-dollar deal with #BP before PM opened new #NorthSea licenses https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/sunaks-family-firm-signed-a-billion-dollar-deal-with-bp-before-pm-opened-new-north-sea-licences-353690/

The PM #RishiSunak is scientifically, technically, economically, & morally, WRONG!

Rishi Sunak is evidently trying to #gaslight the #British public by lying that burning more oil & gas is, to quote, "the right thing to do". https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-66354478

More fossil fuel contracts will lead to more greenhouse gas emissions https://ourworldindata.org/greenhouse-gas-emissions

The CEO of one of Infosys' other major clients, Shell, also joined Rishi Sunak's new business council two weeks ago.

How it works: „A firm founded by Rishi Sunak’s father-in-law signed a billion-dollar deal with BP two months before the prime minister opened hundreds of new licences for oil and gas extraction in the North Sea.“ https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/sunaks-family-firm-signed-a-billion-dollar-deal-with-bp-before-pm-opened-new-north-sea-licences-353690/

This also holds for criminal indictments in the executive branch, broken down by party.

From Nixon to today, it's been 335 indictments under Republican executives, vs 3 indictments under Democrats.

Second important point: EVEN AGAINST THAT BACKGROUND, Trump was a criminal outlier.

Plots, formal testing of statistical significance & strength of effect, and commentary here:

US Executive Branch Criminal Indictments, Broken Down by Party

Do Democratic or Republican presidencies in the US result in more executive branch criminal indictments per year in office? We all think we know, but let’s consult the data.

DID YOU KNOW? The top 10 GOP hopefuls for the 2024 presidential nomination face an average of 7.4 criminal indictments.

EDIT: 7.8

NEW EDIT: 9.1

So with evidence mounting that AI will just make things up rather than admit it doesn't know, I think it's safe to use male pronouns.
